WHY THE LUXURY VILLA COLLECTION?

SPAIN IS WHAT WE DO, LUXURY IS HOW WE DO IT

At The Luxury Villa Collection you will only find high-quality, luxury properties for short term rentals in Spain; we believe that maintaining a tight focus on what you do is crucial to doing it to the best of your ability.

Our attention to detail means we’re leading the way in helping owners to market their Spanish villas. For each villa we take on, we invest some £3000 in our package of luxury rentals coaching, professional copywriting, photography and styling for your villa.

We know from experience that taking the time to have professional descriptions written, HD photography and video gives people the best possible chance to try before they buy’, in an otherwise completely intangible market. We are one of the only agents that will create a high-quality promotional video for most of our properties, so they look just as beautiful on screen as they do in real life (check out our YouTube channel to see how good they are!).

WE ARE REAL PEOPLE, NOT A WEB-SCRAPER IN SIGHT

Our owners appreciate that we are not a faceless agency or listing site; we care just as much about you, the Owner as we do about our guests. That’s why you’ll receive our best personal attention and advice to help you attract the right guests, at the right prices, all based on 20 years experience working with high-profile Spanish travel companies.

We are also quite different to many websites offering Spanish villas for rent; we’re known for offering only hand-picked luxury villas, so we have to work hard to ensure our portfolio meets our guests approval. Crucially, we don’t list villas from the internet that we have not personally seen, and we maintain a very close contact with all of our Villa Owners and Property Managers to ensure a smooth stay for your clients.

For you, that means hassle-free rentals and happy and loyal guests, who will love and respect your property and want to come back time and time again!

A UNIQUE MARKETING PACKAGE

YOUR PERSONAL VILLA RENTALS ‘COACH’

Between us we have years of Quality Management and Marketing experience in the Spanish Travel industry. We provide unlimited support for owners who feel they could benefit from some additional feedback and expertise when new to villa rentals or The Luxury Villa Collection.

We personally visit all of the villas we work with so we can get to know the villa, but also meet you the owner. We love being able to talk in person about what you want from your holiday rental business, or indeed to alleviate any concerns you may have.

This is perfect for owners who renting a villa for the first time, but just as valuable to experienced renters looking to take their villa up to the next level. Once your villa makes it into our Portfolio, we are happy to review your villa with you at any time to see what we can do together, to improve and refresh your property, service and marketing to attract even more bookings.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING

We are experts at high-end property photography with decades of experience photographing some of the finest properties in Spain. When your villa is accepted into our Portfolio we will carry out a professional photo shoot and styling for use in our marketing, at no cost to you. We want your guests to experience the same ‘wow’ feeling that we did when we first saw the property, even before they have visited, so we think this photo shoot is one of the most important investments we can make in our commitment to you.

EXCLUSIVE PROFESSIONAL VIDEO SHOOT

We are the only villa rental agency to shoot a professional, high quality video of most of the properties that we feature, free of charge. This lets your potential clients get a deeper insight into your property and know they are making the right decision when they decide to book. For some villas we might take some spectacular aerial footage to show off the surrounding scenery to the fullest.

PROMOTING YOUR VILLA

As well as investing heavily in SEO to ensure plenty of targeted visitors directly to our website, we are very active in promoting your holiday villa within international markets. Our clients come not only from the UK, but also from the USA and Canada, Northern and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

We enjoy very favourable terms with key marketing channels such as Spain-Holiday, Holiday Lettings and HomeAway, as well as partnering with niche luxury travel planners and carefully chosen agents to promote your property to a wider, yet highly affluent audience. We will never add your villa to faceless multi-listing sites, and we use watermarked photography to stop the details falling into the wrong hands; when a client finds your villa online with us, they will be confident and reassured to see our reputable and legal agency behind it.

Finally, The Luxury Villa Collection has been featured in publications such as The Telegraph Travel Supplement, Fodor’s, Conde Nast and Vogue travel which bring valuable targeted visitors to our site. We also promote our villas with some of the world’s leading luxury travel bloggers, and we continuously look for new collaborations with travel writers and journalists to promote your property wherever possible.

HASSLE-FREE BOOKINGS

TAKING THE BURDEN FROM BUSY OWNERS

Busy or overseas-based owners will be happy to hear that we provide a complete Bookings Management service covering as much or as little as you need; from ‘coaching’ you on how to prepare your villa for guests, to marketing and promoting your property, handling dozens of enquiries to secure the right kinds of bookings, processing online payments and admin, right through to making sure your guests have a fabulous stay and want to come back again and again.

BOOKINGS MANAGER

If you prefer even less hassle, we can also coordinate your bookings from any other channels you might have, such as your own online listings or smaller agents. We can manage your calendar and provide a leading concierge service for your guests, helping to remove the hassle of running your villa and instead leaving you more time to enjoy the income it is bringing!

The client’s booking contract is always directly with you, so if you wish, you are perfectly able to contact your guests before they arrive to wish them a happy trip, or after their stay to welcome them home. We will always keep you informed of anything that might crop up while they are staying at your property.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE MADE EASY

The Luxury Villa Collection is a trading name of Speciality Stays LTD which is a fully registered UK company. We pass bookings to you as a marketing agent, and the rental contract is directly between you and the client. However, because we work with an exceptional concierge team in Spain, your guest will not be abandoned by us as soon as the booking is made. They will be provided with everything they need before, during and after their stay, so you can have as much or as little involvement as you wish.

Just like in the UK or USA, most regions in Spain have a licensing system for holiday rentals. We can help you stay up to date with the latest industry news, of even help you get your villa registered if you are not sure where to begin.

Working with The Luxury Villa Collection will help you comply with your local requirements as follows:

REGISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE

If you have not yet applied for your tourist accommodation license, we can assist you with making the application through our local Gestor partners.

When we visit your villa, we can advise you on we think may be needed to comply with the legislation; from air-conditioning and heating requirements, first-aid kits, to bed linen and guest books. We can also assist with sourcing any of these items and recommend some fabulous interior designers who can get the villa looking tip-top.

SERVICING YOUR GUESTS

All clients of The Luxury Villa Collection enjoy free membership of our expert Concierge service, which includes a couple of hours pre-arrival itinerary planning, as well as having a concierge on-call during their stay. We will also provide a ‘Guest Information Book’ for your villa which will answer 99% of the questions you used to receive annoying phone calls about. Never before have your rentals been so easy!

On a practical level, we can also provide you with guidelines to give to your Property Manager on standards of cleaning, maintenance and changeovers, helping you provide the required level of service to your guests.

BOOKING ADMINISTRATION

We can assist you with writing any ‘House Rules’ that you may wish to apply, and we provide very clear ‘Terms and Conditions’ to clients on your behalf, meaning you do not have to use the default T&C’s given in the Spanish law (such as the 10 day cancellation/refund rule).

We provide all the client documentation required by law (booking contracts, payment receipts, holding copies of passports, etc), which you can access at any time.

Together with our Concierge partners we can also offer a guaranteed ‘Meet and Greet’ on your behalf for a small fee. This is especially useful if you live away or do not have a suitable staff member to do this locally.

IS YOUR VILLA A GOOD FIT?

COMPARE IT TO THE BEST HOTEL YOU’VE STAYED IN

When a client books with The Luxury Villa Collection they anticipate staying in a beautiful property with a high level of service to match, so they appreciate the value we provide in helping to make that happen (and why our rates may be higher than the villa down the road!).

This means that when we list a new villa, we must be confident that can give our clients the 5-star treatment. So everything from the bathroom fittings, bed linen, cutlery drawer, to cushions, must be of excellent quality and durable to withstand a lot of traffic during a busy season!

A WELL-RUN VILLA

Who do you call when the swimming pool pump breaks down? Or the lights won’t come on? Or a client needs an unscheduled linen change or extra clean? The service given to our clients is just as important as the villa itself, so we must be confident that your property will be well managed when add it to our Collection.

This may mean you have a live-in housekeeper, or perhaps a part-time maid and gardener, or you may even use a property management company, but it will always mean having someone on hand who knows your villa and is capable of finding a solution to anything that may go wrong.

If you do not yet have such a service in place then please don’t let this put you off, get in touch with us anyway and lets see if we can help

INDULGE YOUR HIGH TECH TRAVELLERS

High net-worth clients like to have their home comforts available in their holiday villa just as they do at home, so we urge owners to invest in a good sound system and international TV channels, maybe with Apple TV and Netflix. High-speed internet is an excellent selling point and makes your clients stay go smoother as they increasingly expect to be able to stream music and video, or even catch up with important business while travelling.

IDENTIFYING THE WOW-FACTOR

Added luxuries such as a heated pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, home cinema, or games room/kids play area can greatly enhance the unique selling proposition of your villa and will help to attract guests. But often, we are just as keen to find an amazing location, fabulous views and that ‘special kind of something’ to help our guests relax and enjoy Spain in Style.

When we visit your villa we will get a feel for what makes it special, why it would appeal to our clients, in other words, what the WOW factor is. This is a crucial first step in deciding where your property would fit into our collection. From then on, we can tailor the marketing message and photography to appeal directly to the target audience.
